Abstract

An excitatory role for norepinephrine (NE) in the regulation of luteinizing hormone (LH) release was first suggested when it was demonstrated that noradrenergic receptor antagonists were able to block ovulation. More recently it has been proposed that NE has both an excitatory role and an inhibitory role in the neuroendocrine regulation of LH release. The excitatory effects may be mediated by alpha-adrenergic receptors and the inhibitory effects may be mediated via beta-adrenergic receptors. These experiments were performed to better understand the role of NE, the receptor type through which NE exerts its effects, and the role of the two major NE pathways in the brain, on LH secretion in the rat.

Abstract

This guide provides a framework for competency-based education for perinatal nurses. It is adaptable to many perinatal nursing specialties and settings and provides practical information and tools to enable nurses to take charge of their orientation, ongoing education and continuing professional development. This comprehensive resource will help with orientation planning as well as the implementation of staff development programs. Perinatal competencies are articulated in the form of a CAPE tool (Competence Assessment, Planning and Evaluation) for basic, advanced and complex levels.
